Although a fair amount of entrants into DARPA’s Urban Challenge flank their vehicles with hordes of less-than-attractive sensors, we’ve been quick to forgive such atrociousness due to the complexities involved in cruising around sans a driver. Ibeo-led Team LUX, however, is looking to add a dash of style to this year’s (now lucrative) competition, as its Volkswagen Passat TDI wagon touts a clean exterior, three “laser scanners” for complete 360-degree perception, and amazingly, not much else.
